Billingsley99 Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Since Judge hit #60 he has been walked 14 times. He is not pressing at the plate and wants his team to win. Even more reasons to like this young man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries are a part of the game but take those away and his numbers would have been untouched. I remember hearing Lou Pinella tell Jr to take it easy in the outside and nit to take so.many risks, he responded that he will always play all out or not play at all. Almost every injury involved making a great play. On top of all that he had so.much fun playing the game. He made the backward hat cool. Geez, Bob Howsam's kids must be running MLB Network... The next "MLB Network Presents" in my que was "Bench." Watched part of it last night (I DVR the series) and beside Pete Rose having a cameo, it was great... Best catcher I ever saw play... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other MLB rookie in the modern era has had that many strikeouts while allowing that few hits over a 4-start span. 9:50 PM · Sep 27, 2022 Last night they said his ERA since the all star break is 1.50 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Reds are finishing this season on a good note by losing 17 out of the last 21 games while scoring less than 3 runs in 16 of those games. They are now 60-97 and they have to win 3 out of of 5 not to lose 100 games. Ashcraft hasn't been the same since coming off the IL and the last 2 games he has pitched 6.2 innings while giving up 9 runs. He only went 2.2 innings today giving up 5 earned runs and 6 overall. Overton pitched well in relief going 5.1 innings 2 hits 0 runs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
